Buying My son a laptop, he is wanting to play Mists of Pandaria. Will this work??

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 

Ok, So I was thinking about getting my son a laptop this Christmas.

He wants to play World of Warcraft with Mists of Pandaria.

Recommended system requirements:

 

Operating System
Windows 7/8 64-bit with latest service pack
Processor
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz,
AMD Athlon 64 X2 2.6GHz or better
Intel Core i3 or better
Video
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT,
ATI Radeon HD 4830 (512 MB) or better
ATI Radeon HD 5670 or better
Memory
4 GB RAM

 

The laptop I am looking at is: Pavilion dv6-6c11nr

 

Operating System

Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)

Processor

2.5GHz/1.9GHz VISION A4 Technology from AMD with AMD Dual-Core A4-3305M Accelerated Process

Video

AMD Radeon HD 6480G Discrete-Class Graphics

Memory

4GB DDR3 SDRAM (1 DIMM)

 

I am computer illiterate. I was told at the store that this would match what was needed, and was actually a little better.

Can someone please verify this for me??? I do not want to end up purchasing a computer that will not meet his specific needs, and have it sit around for a month or so before he he even opens it up and we find out it wasnt going to work all along. Also, I am sure there are other laptops out there that will blow this one away, but they also cost much more. This is what i can afford. :)

Thanks in advance,

Nope, I would not touch that 6480G. What is the price range are you looking to spend?

I was looking to stay around no more than 700.

Look at the HP Envy line, on Amazon or Best Buys ... the low-end configuration of that model is more than enough to support the game in question

No, I had to see if the "ex-wife" would help out.

I really appreciate all of your help.
